Artilērijas iela 25 Overview

Look, I’ll be straight with you about this place on Artilērijas iela – it’s one of those finds that honestly surprised me. You know how sometimes you book a 3-star hotel and your expectations are pretty modest? Well, this spot actually delivers way more than what you’d expect for the price point. I mean, an 8.7 rating doesn’t just happen by accident.

The location is what really got me excited though. You’re literally a stone’s throw from the Daugava River, and I’m talking about the good part of Riga where you can actually walk everywhere that matters. Vecrīga (the Old Town) is basically right there – maybe a 10-minute stroll through some pretty charming streets. What I loved is that you’re close enough to hit all the tourist spots, but you’re not dealing with the constant noise and crowds that come with staying right in the medieval center. The tram lines run nearby too, which honestly saved me a bunch of walking when I wanted to explore further out.

The building itself has this sort of understated character – nothing fancy, but clean and well-maintained in that Northern European way. Check-in was smooth (they actually had someone who spoke decent English, which isn’t always a given), and the rooms are what I’d call “efficiently comfortable.” Not huge, but everything works properly and the beds are actually good. The Wi-Fi was solid throughout my stay, which matters when you’re trying to figure out where to eat or how to get around. I stayed there in late spring and the neighborhood was pretty quiet at night – you’ll hear some street noise during the day, but nothing that kept me awake.

Here’s what really sold me on recommending this place: it’s got that perfect balance of being affordable without feeling cheap. The staff seemed to genuinely care about making sure guests were sorted, and there’s something to be said for staying somewhere that locals don’t immediately peg you as a tourist just by your address. Plus, you’re within walking distance of some really solid restaurants and cafes that aren’t just tourist traps – I’m talking about places where you’ll actually see Latvians eating lunch. The Central Market is close enough that you can grab some incredible local food without making it a whole expedition. Honestly, for the money you’re paying, you’re getting a lot more value than you would in a lot of other European capitals.

  We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. Communication with the host was super easy and they provided us with everything necessary. If we ever go to Riga again, we will definitly return back to this apartment. Very recommended.

• Superb – Battal from Malta – 5 October 2024 (9/10)

  Nice cozy apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Mattress could be better.

• Disappointment – Lucie from Czech Republic – 27 April 2025 (3/10)

  Close to city center, new apartment, well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: When we arrived, there was no hot water in the aprtment. Although we have reported that as soon as we noticed (around 13:00), the owner was not very keen to fix it. After multiple instructions (turn this, turn that, opposite direction, etc. – we came for vacation, not to be a handyman), we have got a message that due to public holidays (Easter), nobody is going to fix it. Nothing else, no remedy. Only after I have complained to Booking, there suddenly was a guy available to fix the boiler within 40 minutes (at 21:00). Turns out the boiler was broken and no turning left or right would work. Apparently not checked before our arrival.
  Also, the kitchen utilities were very dirty (as somebody probably was not able to wash out the fat – because of no hot water in the apartment.
  And to top it up – somebody has apparently puked out of the window a while ago. And it was still there.
  The bed is quite narrow for two relatively small-sized adults.
  The road is very busy, no chance to sleep with open window.

• Patīkama atpūta ar atbilstošu komforta līmeni. – Delleskungs from Latvia – 1 June 2025 (9/10)

  Jauka, klusa, neskatoties uz to ka logi ir uz ielas pusi, vieta, atbilstoši piedāvājumam.
  
  What could be improved: Siltā ūdens pieeja tikai ar laiku un krāna atzīme (siltais/aukstais) neatbilst.

• Superb – Beata from Lithuania – 7 November 2024 (9/10)

  Gera vieta, ne gyvenamasis pastatas kitoje pusėje.
  
  What could be improved: Triukšminga gatvė, nėra nemokamo parkingo, tualeto kambarys ankštokas.

• Disappointing – Alexander from Germany – 2 June 2025 (4/10)

  Bus und Bahn fahren in der Nähe, Narvesen Shop direkt gegenüber.
  
  What could be improved: Alles am Bad, Abfluss verstopft, Duschkopf und Seife haben keine Halterung, Temperatur schlecht regulierbar. Wegen der Waschmaschine konnte ich mich kaum aufs Klo setzen. Einziges Fenster zur vielbefahrenen Hauptstraße hin. Der Weg zum Zimmer ist schon gruselig.
